Take the High Ground Movie (1953) - Clip - Plot synopsis: Richard Widmark and Karl Malden topline in the creased and ironed "basic training picture" and deliver a tightly crafted, stirring tribute to our armed forces. After seeing some action in the early days of the Korean War, Sgts Ryan and Holt (Widmark and Malden) are stationed stateside at Ft. Bliss, churning out squads of combat-ready every sixteen weeks. As Ryan struggles to whip a particularly motley crew (including Russ Tamblyn, Carleton Carpenter, Steve Forrest and Maurice Jara) into shape, a shapely complication (Elaine Stewart) comes between the two D.I.s. Directed by Richard Brooks. 16 x 9 Widescreen.
